FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to kinase inhibitor salts formed by reacting the kinase inhibitor with a C₈-C₁₆ aliphatic sulfate. The kinase inhibitor salts may be orally administered to subjects in combination with at least one pharmaceutically acceptable excipient.

The present invention also relates to pharmaceutically acceptable compositions and dosage forms comprising the kinase inhibitor C₈-C₁₆ aliphatic sulfate salts, methods for preparing the compositions and dosage forms and methods of treating various conditions such as cancer comprising the oral administration of the compositions and dosage forms.

BACKGROUND

Kinase inhibitors (KIs) are compounds that inhibit kinase enzymes and thereby interfere with the activation of proteins. KIs are commonly used to treat cancers but are also being used to treat inflammatory and autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and Crohn's disease.

KIs often exhibit pH dependent solubility and thus erratic bioavailability following oral administration.

KIs are also known to exhibit large absorption fluctuations when administered under fasting conditions compared to administration in the presence of a high fat meal or when administered with other drugs such as gastric acid reducing agents, i.e., antacids, H₂ antagonists and proton pump inhibitors. For example, some of the KIs are known to exhibit a significant increase in pharmacokinetics values such as C_(max) (maximum plasma concentration) and AUC (area under the plasma concentration curve) when the compound is orally administered in the presence of a high fat meal compared to the administration under fasting conditions. Similarly, the co-administration of KIs with gastric acid reducing agents or agents that increase gastric pH is known to reduce absorption of KIs. As a result of the large potential fluctuations, restrictions on the time and conditions of KI administration may be required resulting in unwanted inconvenience to the patient, unwanted side effects if not administered correctly or loss of efficacy.

Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide novel KI salts and compositions comprising the KI salts which will improve KI absorption following oral administration, reduce the absorption variation when the KI is orally administered with or without food and or reduce the absorption variation when co-administered with other drugs such as gastric acid reducing agents.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention obtains the above objectives and others.

The present invention encompasses KI salts wherein the salt is formed by reacting the KI with a C₈-C₁₆ aliphatic sulfate. In one embodiment, the KI salt is formed by reacting the KI with an alkaline or alkaline earth metal lauryl sulfate or an alkaline or alkaline earth metal tetradecyl sulfate.

The present invention also encompasses compositions and dosage forms comprising the KI C₈-C₁₆ aliphatic sulfate salts and at least one pharmaceutically acceptable excipient, preferably for oral administration to a subject.

The present invention further encompasses methods for reducing or eliminating food effects that result from the oral administration of KIs. More specifically, the present invention encompasses the oral administration of compositions and/or dosage forms of the present invention to a subject, wherein the subject may be either in a fed state or a fasted state. Upon oral administration of the compositions or dosage forms of the present invention, a KI plasma profile is obtained wherein at least one pharmacokinetic parameter differs by less than about 40% under fed and fasted conditions. In various embodiments, the pharmacokinetic parameter may vary by less than about 35%, 30%, 25%, 20%, 15%, 10%, or 5% under fed and fasted conditions. The pharmacokinetic parameter that is independent of food may be, but is not limited to, C_(max), AUC, T_(max), or combinations thereof. In certain embodiments, one or more dosage forms comprising the KI C₈-C₁₆ aliphatic sulfate salts and at least one pharmaceutically acceptable excipient are orally administered to cancer patients with or without food wherein the dose of the KI C₈-C₁₆ aliphatic sulfate salts administered with or without food does not require an adjustment in dose or a change in time of administration.

The present invention also further encompasses methods for reducing or eliminating drug interactions that result from the oral administration of KIs and the co-administration of other drugs such as gastric acid reducing agents or drugs that raise gastric pH. More specifically, the present invention encompasses the oral administration of compositions and/or dosage forms of the present invention to a subject, wherein the subject may also be receiving drugs that reduce gastric acid secretion or that raise gastric acid pH. Upon oral administration of the compositions or dosage forms of the present invention, a KI plasma profile is obtained wherein at least one pharmacokinetic parameter differs by less than about 40% when the compositions or dosage forms of the present invention are administered with or without a drug that reduces gastric acid secretion or that raise gastric acid pH. In various embodiments, the pharmacokinetic parameter may vary by less than about 35%, 30%, 25%, 20%, 15%, 10%, or 5% when the compositions or dosage forms of the present invention are administered with or without a drug that reduces gastric acid secretion or that raise gastric acid pH. The pharmacokinetic parameter that is independent of co-administration with a drug that reduces gastric acid secretion or that raises gastric acid pH maybe C_(max), AUC, T_(max), or combinations thereof. In certain embodiments, one or more dosage forms comprising the KI C₈-C₁₆ aliphatic sulfate salts and at least one pharmaceutically acceptable excipient are orally administered to cancer patients that are being co-administered gastric acid reducing agents wherein the dose of the KI C₈-C₁₆ aliphatic sulfate salts does not require an adjustment in dose or a change in time of administration.

The present invention also encompasses methods for reducing the total oral daily dose of the KI. More specifically, the present invention encompasses the oral administration of compositions and/or dosage forms prepared in accordance with the present invention wherein the total daily amount of the KI administered is at least 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, 40%, 45% or 50% lower than the currently U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved total daily amount of the KI free base or non C₈-C₁₆ aliphatic sulfate salt.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the composition or dosage form for oral administration is a hard or soft capsule or a tablet, comprising a KI C₈-C₁₆ aliphatic sulfate salt and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, preferably in an intimate mixture. In certain aspects of this embodiment, the hard or soft capsule can be gelatin-based or non gelatin-based capsule. In certain aspects of this embodiment, the pharmaceutically acceptable carrier is a liquid at ambient conditions, i.e., 25° C. and standard atmospheric pressure or the pharmaceutically acceptable carrier is a solid at ambient conditions but has a melting point above 25° C. but less than 120° C., preferably less than 100° C. and most preferably less than 80° C. If the pharmaceutically acceptable carrier is a liquid at ambient conditions, the KI C₈-C₁₆ aliphatic sulfate salt and liquid carrier are mixed and the resulting mixture is filled or formed into the hard or soft capsule. The liquid mixture may further comprise one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients such as a stabilizer which are described in greater detail below. If the carrier is a solid at ambient temperature, the carrier may be heated to melt the carrier and the melted carrier and KI C₈-C₁₆ aliphatic sulfate salt are mixed prior to filling or forming into the hard or soft capsule or formed into a tablet. Alternatively, the carrier maybe dissolved or dispersed in a solvent and combined with the KI C₈-C₁₆ aliphatic sulfate salt alone or combined with the KI C₈-C₁₆ aliphatic sulfate salt and at least one additional pharmaceutical acceptable excipient to create an intimate admixture of the carrier and KI C₈-C₁₆ aliphatic sulfate salt. Once the intimate admixture of the KI C₈-C₁₆ aliphatic sulfate salt and carrier is created, it may be dried and filled or formed into a hard or soft capsule or the intimate admixture can be combined with at least one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients and the resulting combination filled or formed into a hard or soft capsule or formed into a tablet.

In another embodiment of the present invention, the compositions and/or dosage forms comprise the KI C₈-C₁₆ aliphatic sulfate salts and a carrier with an HLB value of 10 or greater wherein the carrier with an HLB value of 10 or greater is selected from the group consisting of a wetting agent, an emulsifying agent, a solubilizing agent, a surfactant or combinations thereof. In preferred embodiments, the KI C₈-C₁₆ aliphatic sulfate salt and carrier with an HLB value of 10 or greater are intimately mixed. In further embodiments, the composition is a liquid composition that may be orally administered to a subject or the liquid composition may be filled into a hard or soft capsule for oral administration to a subject.

In certain embodiments, the present invention includes methods for treating the conditions identified in Table 2 by orally administering one or more dosage forms described in Embodiments A-G and comprising a KI lauryl sulfate salt within the amounts recited in Table 1. In these embodiments: (i) the oral administration may be with or without food and the oral administration will exhibit substantially constant pharmacokinetic values or will not exhibit a food effect as described in detail below; (ii) the oral administration will allow for a reduction in the total daily dose of KI compared to the currently U.S. FDA approved KI compositions while maintaining similar pharmacokinetics as described in detail below; (iii) the oral administration may be with or without the co-administration of a gastric acid reducing agent and the oral administration will not exhibit a gastric acid reducing agent effect as described in detail below; or (iv) the oral administration will exhibit a combination of (i); (ii) and/or (iii).

For example, a dosage form as described in Embodiments A-G and comprising 10-400 mg of nilotinib lauryl sulfate, preferably 15-350 mg and more preferably 25-300 mg can be orally administered to a patient to treat chronic myeloid leukemia wherein (i) the oral administration may be with or without food and the oral administration will not exhibit a food effect; (ii) the oral administration will allow for a reduction in the total daily dose of nilotinib free base compared to the currently approved dosing for nilotinib hydrochloride while maintaining similar pharmacokinetics as the oral administration of nilotinib hydrochloride; and (iii) the oral administration may be with or without the co-administration of a gastric acid reducing agent and the oral administration will not exhibit a gastric acid reducing agent effect.

Similarly, a dosage form as described in Embodiments A-G and comprising 5-250 mg of dasatinib lauryl sulfate, preferably 10-175 mg and more preferably 15-150 mg can be orally administered to a patient to treat chronic myeloid leukemia and/or acute lymphoblastic leukemia wherein (i) the oral administration may be with or without food and the oral administration will not exhibit a food effect; and (ii) the oral administration may be with or without the co-administration of a gastric acid reducing agent and the oral administration will not exhibit a gastric acid reducing agent effect.

The compositions and dosage forms of the present invention, including but not limited to Embodiments A-G, can be administered to a subject, wherein the subject may be either in a fed state or a fasted state and the administration will under either fed or fasted conditions will result in substantially constant pharmacokinetic values or no food effect. In general, a fed state is defined as having consumed food within about 30 minutes prior to administration of the composition or dosage form. The food may be a high fat meal, a low fat meal, a high calorie meal, or a low calorie meal. A fasted state may be defined as not having ingested food for at least 10 hours prior to administration of the composition or dosage form. In some embodiments, the subject may have fasted for at least 10 hours prior to administration and refrains from ingesting food for about 30 minutes to 2 hours, preferably about one hour following administration. In other embodiments, the fasted subject may not have ingested food for at least 1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours, 4 hours, 5 hours, 6 hours, 7 hours, 8 hours, 9 hours, or 10 hours prior to administration of each dose of the composition or dosage form.

The method of orally administering the composition and/or dosage form of the present invention, including but not limited to Embodiments A-G, to a patient or healthy subject will produce substantially constant pharmacokinetic values such as T_(max), C_(max) and AUC whether the composition is administered with or without food. A substantially constant pharmacokinetic value means the measured pharmacokinetic value obtained after a single or multiple dose administration of the composition or dosage form, including but not limited to Embodiments A-G, to a patient or healthy subject under fasting conditions as described by the U.S. FDA Guidance documents does not change by more than 40%, preferably does not change by more than 30% and most preferably does not change by more than 20% when the same composition is administered to the same patient or healthy subject under fed conditions as described in the U.S. FDA Guidance documents. For example, if a T_(max) of 3 hours was obtained after a single dose administration to a patient under fasting conditions, a T_(max) in the range of 1.8 hours to 4.2 hours would be considered substantially constant, i.e., 3 hours±40%.

In certain preferred embodiments of the present invention, a single oral dose administration of a composition or dosage form prepared in accordance with the present invention, including but not limited to Embodiment A-G will be bioequivalent when administered under fed and fasting conditions or exhibit no food effect. The terms “bioequivalent” and “no food effect” are used in accordance with the U.S. FDA Guidance documents.

In certain embodiments of the present invention, a single oral administration of the composition or dosage form prepared in accordance with the present invention, including but not limited to Embodiments A-G, will produce a ratio of the KI C_(max) administered with food to the KI C_(max) administered without food (C_(max fed)/C_(max fast)) of about 0.60 to about 2.5, preferably about 0.70 to about 2.0, more preferably about 0.75 to about 1.5 and most preferably about 0.8 to about 1.25. Similarly, in certain embodiments of the present invention, a single oral administration of the composition or dosage form prepared in accordance with the present invention, including but not limited to Embodiments A-G will produce a ratio of the KI AUC_(0-∞) of the pharmaceutical composition administered with food to the KI AUC_(0-∞) of the pharmaceutical composition administered without food (AUC_(0-∞ fed)/AUC_(0-∞ fast)) of about 0.60 to about 2.5, preferably about 0.70 to about 2.0, more preferably about 0.75 to about 1.5 and most preferably about 0.8 to about 1.25.

Upon oral administration of the compositions or dosage forms of the present invention, including but not limited to Embodiments A-G, a KI plasma profile is obtained wherein at least one pharmacokinetic parameter differs by less than about 40% under fed and fasted conditions. In various embodiments, the pharmacokinetic parameter may vary by less than about 35%, 30%, 25%, 20%, 15%, 10%, or 5% under fed and fasted conditions. The pharmacokinetic parameter that is independent of food may be, but is not limited to, C_(max), AUC, T_(max), or combinations thereof.

In certain embodiments, the oral administration of the KI C₈-C₁₆ aliphatic sulfate salt of the present invention and specifically the KI lauryl sulfate salt, will allow at least a 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 35% 40%, 45% or 50% reduction in the total daily recommended dose in of the KI free base reported in Table 3 while maintaining similar pharmacokinetics. For example, the currently approved daily dose for nilotinib hydrochloride is 600-800 mg based on the free base amount of nilotinib. The oral administration of the nilotinib lauryl sulfate salt will allow at least a 25% reduction in the daily dose, i.e. 450-600 mg while maintaining the same or substantially similar pharmacokinetics such as C_(max) , T_(max) and/or AUC. Alternatively, a patient receiving 800 mg of nilotinib (as the hydrochloride) will be able to receive 600 mg of nilotinib (as the lauryl sulfate) as maintain similar plasma levels of nilotinib.

The solubility of many of the KI drugs is pH dependent. The solubility of many of the KIs decrease with increasing pH. Patients taking a KI drug may also be receiving or co-administered a gastric acid reducing agent such as an antacid, H₂ antagonist or proton pump inhibitor to reduce gastric acid secretion or increase gastric pH. Because the gastric acid reducing agent will increase the pH of a patient's stomach, the solubility of a co-administered KI drug will decrease in the patient's stomach and thereby result in a decreased absorption. In order to avoid this decreased absorption or gastric acid reducing agent effect, patients are warned to take antacids at least two hours before or two hours after taking the KI drug or to discontinue the use of H₂ antagonist or proton pump inhibitors during treatment with the KI drug. The present invention avoids the need for staggered administration of antacids or discontinuing the use of H₂ antagonist or proton pump inhibitors during treatment with the KI drug. The KI C₈-C₁₆ aliphatic sulfate salt of the present invention and specifically the KI lauryl sulfate salts can be orally administered to a patient or healthy subject and it will produce similar or substantially constant pharmacokinetic values such as T_(max), C_(max) and AUC whether the administration occurs with or without a gastric reducing agent. A substantially constant pharmacokinetic value means the measured pharmacokinetic value such as C_(max) and/or AUC obtained after a single or multiple dose administration of the composition or dosage form of the present invention, including but not limited to Embodiments A-G, to a patient or healthy subject under fasting conditions with a gastric acid reducing agent does not change by more than 40%, 35%, 30%, 25%, 20%, 15%, 10%, or 5% when the same composition is administered to the same patient or healthy subject under fasting condition without a gastric acid reducing agent.

In certain embodiments of the present invention, a single oral administration of the composition or dosage form prepared in accordance with the present invention, including but not limited to Embodiments A-G, will produce a ratio of the KI C_(max) administered with a gastric acid reducing agent to the KI C_(max) administered without a gastric acid reducing agent (C_(max w/gastric acid reducing)/C_(max w/o gastric acid reducing)) of about 0.60 to about 2.5, preferably about 0.70 to about 2.0, more preferably about 0.75 to about 1.5 and most preferably about 0.8 to about 1.25. Similarly, in certain embodiments of the present invention, a single oral administration of the composition or dosage form prepared in accordance with the present invention, including but not limited to Embodiments A-E will produce a ratio of the KI AUG₀₋₂₈ of the pharmaceutical composition administered with gastric acid reducing agent to the KI AUG_(0-∞) of the pharmaceutical composition administered without gastric acid reducing agent (AUC_(0-∞ w/gastric acid reducing)/AUC_(0-∞ w/o gastric acid reducing)) of about 0.60 to about 2.5, preferably about 0.70 to about 2.0, more preferably about 0.75 to about 1.5, and most preferably about 0.80 to about 1.25.

Certain embodiments of the present invention will employ the dosage forms of Embodiments A-G, the amounts of bosutinib, dasatinib, erlotinib, gefitinib, neratinib, nilotinib, and pazopanib recited in Table 1 to treat the conditions recited in Table 2 and the administration will be orally with or without the co-administration of a gastric acid reducing agent and the administration will produce substantially constant pharmacokinetic values such as T_(max), C_(max) and AUC whether the administration occurs with or without a gastric reducing agents.

Certain embodiments of the present invention include methods for treating cancer in human patients comprising the step of orally administering to the patient one or more dosage forms as described in Embodiments A-G and co-administering a gastric acid reducing agent to the patient wherein the dose of the KI C₈-C₁₆ aliphatic sulfate salts and particularly the KI lauryl sulfate does not require an adjustment in dose or a change in time of administration. Examples of the KI particularly useful in this embodiment are bosutinib, dasatinib, erlotinib, gefitinib, neratinib, nilotinib, and pazopanib and in the amounts recited in Table 1 to treat the specific cancers recited in Table 2.

Nintedanib Nintedanib Nintedanib Dilauryl Monolauryl Esylate Sulfate Sulfate pH condition (μg/mL) (μg/mL) (μg/mL) 0.1N HCl, pH = 1.0 106,600 27 1081.8 0.05M acetate buffer, pH = 4.5 6260 4.3 0 0.05M phosphate buffer, pH = 6.8 2.2 660 0

EXAMPLE 25B

The impurity and stability of the nintedanib lauryl sulfate salts prepared in Example 21 and 25 was measured using the HPLC methods outlined in Example 21C.

The test sample were prepared by respectively weighing about 29.88 mg of nintedanib monolauryl sulfate or 39.76 mg of nintedanib dilauryl sulfate (equivalent to 20 mg of Nintedanib) and transfer into a 20-mL amber volumetric flask, adding 16 mL of diluent (methanol), sonicating for about 5 minutes and stirring at 800 rpms for about 5 minutes until fully dissolved. Additional diluent is added so the test sample is approximately 1.0 mg of nintedanib per mL.

The following results were obtained:

0.23 0.59 0.92 1.10 1.34 1.36 1.38 1.14 1.44 RRT % Impurity Ex 21 Initial 0.02 0.02 0.03 40° C./75% 0.02 0.02 0.03 R.H. 1 month Ex 25 Initial 0.26 0.09 0.09 0.04 40° C./75% 0.25 0.18 0.11 0.01 0.04 R.H. 1 month

The above data demonstrates the nintedanib dilauryl sulfate is more stable than the monolauryl sulfate and both the dilauryl and monolauryl sulfate salts of the present invention have NMT 0.5% of any individual impurity, preferably NMT 0.35% of any individual impurity and most preferably NMT 0.30% of any individual impurity and the total impurity should be NMT 1.0%, preferably NMT 0.75% and most preferably NMT 0.60%.

EXAMPLE 50

The capsules prepared in Example 49 containing dasatinib monolauryl sulfate were administered to nine (9) healthy subjects under fasted, fed and fasted with omeprazole pretreatment conditions. Omeprazole is a commercially available proton pump inhibitor (PPI). This was a two-part study. Part 1 is a single dose, open-label, randomized, 3-treatment, 3-sequence, 3-period crossover bioavailability study in healthy subjects under fasted and fed conditions. All subjects were randomized to the sequences as shown in the following table with a 7-day washout period between the periods. Part 2 is a sequential, 2-treatment, drug-drug interaction study in healthy subjects. All subjects were orally administered omeprazole 40 mg QD for 5 days to reach steady state and a 20 mg dasatinib capsule was orally administered approximately 22 hours after the last dose of omeprazole. The Reference drug (Ref) was Sprycel®, dasatinib monohydrate, with a strength of 50 mg while the Test drug (Test) was a capsule prepared according to the procedure of Example 49 but containing approximately a dose of dasatinib monolauryl sulfate equivalent to 20 mg of dasatinib monohydrate. The nine (9) healthy subjects enrolled in this study were randomized to one of the sequences as shown in the following table.

During each treatment period, blood samples were taken at 0 (prior to the dosing), 0.33, 0.67, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12 and 24 hours after dosing. AUC₀₋₂₄, AUC_(0-∞), C_(max), T_(max), and T_(1/2) were determined for each subject based on non-compartmental analyses. The results of the study were normalized to 50 mg dose and summarized in the following Table:

EXAMPLE 51 A

The capsules prepared in Example 51 containing dasatinib monolauryl sulfate were administered to healthy subjects under fasted, fed and fasted with omeprazole pretreatment conditions. Omeprazole is a commercially available proton pump inhibitor (PPI). This was a two-part study. Part 1 was a single dose, open-label, randomized, 4-treatment, 4-sequence, 4-period crossover bioavailability study in ten (10) healthy subjects under fasted and fed conditions. All subjects were randomized to the sequences as shown in the following table with a 3-day or 4-day washout period between the periods. Part 2 is a sequential, 2-treatment, drug-drug interaction study in nine (9) healthy subjects. All subjects were orally administered omeprazole 40 mg QD for 5 days to reach steady state and a 50 mg dasatinib capsule was orally administered approximately 22 hours after the last dose of omeprazole. The Reference drug (Ref) was Sprycel®, dasatinib monohydrate, with a strength of 50 mg (free base) while the Test drug (Test) was a capsule prepared according to the procedure of Example 51 but containing approximately 50 mg of dasatinib (free base). The ten (10) healthy subjects for part 1 or nine (9) healthy subjects for part 2 enrolled in this study were randomized to one of the sequences as shown in the following table.

EXAMPLE 52

A dasatinib monolauryl sulfate capsule dosage form was prepared by blending 9276 mg of dasatinib monolauryl sulfate prepared according to the procedure of Example 12 which had been passed through a 325 mesh sieve with 1440 mg of croscarmellose sodium and 6000 mg of anhydrous lactose in a suitable container for about 1 minute. 6324 mg of microcrystalline cellulose and 720 mg of hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC-H) which had been passed through a 40 mesh sieve were added to blend in the container and further blended for 2 minutes.

240 mg of magnesium stearate which had been passed through a 40 mesh sieve was added to the blend and further blended to obtain a final blend. The final blend was filled into size 1 hard gelatin capsule.

The composition of the capsule was as follows:

Mg wt % Dasatinib monolauryl sulfate (DSB-1LS) 77.30 38.65 Croscarmellose sodium 12.00 6.00 Anhydrous lactose 50.00 25.00 Microcrystalline cellulose 52.70 26.35 Hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC-H) 6.00 3.00 Magnesium stearate 2.00 1.00 Total 200.00 100.00

EXAMPLE 52 A

The capsules prepared in Example 52 containing dasatinib monolauryl sulfate were administered to six (6) healthy subjects under fasted conditions. This administration was a single dose, open-label, randomized, 2-treatment, 2-sequence, 2-period crossover bioavailability study in healthy subjects under fasted conditions. All subjects were randomized to the sequences as shown in the following table with a 3-day washout period between the periods. The Reference drug (Ref) was Sprycel®, Dasatinib monohydrate, with a strength of 50 mg (free base) while the Test drug (Test) was a capsule prepared according to the procedure of Example 52 but containing approximately 50 mg of dasatinib (free base). The six (6) healthy subjects enrolled in this study were randomized to one of the sequences as shown in the following table.

Sequence Period I Period II 1 Tfast Rfast

During each treatment period, blood samples were taken at 0 (prior to the dosing), 0.33, 0.67, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12 and 24 hours after dosing. AUC₀₋₂₄, AUC_(0-∞), C_(max), T_(max), and T_(1/2) were determined for each subject based on non-compartmental analyses. The results were summarized in the following table:

EXAMPLE 61A

The capsule prepared in Example 60A containing nilotinib monolauryl sulfate were administered to nine (9) healthy subjects under fasted and fed conditions. The study was a randomized, open-label, single dose, three treatment, three sequences, three periods, and crossover design with at least a 5-day washout period between doses. The Reference drug (Ref) was TASIGNA® Capsule, nilotinib HCl, with strength of 200 mg (free base) while the Test drug (Test) was a capsule prepared according to the procedure of Example 60A but containing approximately 80 mg free base of nilotinib. The nine (9) healthy subjects enrolled in this study were randomized to one of the sequences as shown in the following table.

Period I Period II Period III Sequence 1 Ref (fasted) Test (fasted) Test (fed) Sequence 2 Test (fed) Ref (fasted) Test (fasted) Sequence 3 Test (fasted) Test (fed) Ref (fasted)

During each treatment period, blood samples were taken at 0 (prior to the dosing), 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 24, 36 and 48 hours after dosing. AUC₀₋₄₈, AUC_(0-∞), C_(max), T_(max), and T_(1/2) were determined for each subject based on non-compartmental analyses. The results were normalized to 200 mg dose and are summarized in the following Table:
